"the Biden campaign said it was pausing all messaging to supporters and working to pull down all of its television ads as quickly as possible, the campaign said."
I know these people are incompetent jackasses but "let's just let Trump speak unopposed" is borderline deliberate sabotage
Remember when somebody burned down the NC GOP HQ and Democrats raised money to rebuild it
And then the NC GOP all got COVID and deliberately tried to infect the Democrats
* Also: If they want to pull down explicit campaign ads for a minute, fine. But use the time to talk about gun control or Project 2025.
The problem with Trump ultimately isn't the man. It's the entire structure he's currently the head of.
** I doubt they'll do this. Dems have no game.
I should add an addendum to this:
It IS the right call to condemn political violence. It IS the right call to say 'Now is not the time to stoke the flames of hatred. We must be better'.
BUT, you must ALSO condemn Trump, the GOP & their base if/when they refuse to do the same.
'Standards for thee, but not for me' is what created this chaotic mess.
It CANNOT be allowed to continue unabated, or the escalation of violent rhetoric to action will happen again, and with greater frequency.
he really doesn't get that there's hundreds of millions of us Americans, and billions of humans outside this country, whose futures are riding on this election
Those people’s futures are riding on what the American people decide they are going to do about the fact they are already living in a fascist state reducing the entire world to ash. Biden is on the side of the US corporate elite, not the billions of people whose lives they gamble with.
Jesus fucking Christ trust a Democrat to always want to lose an election to uphold principles the GOP wouldn't touch with a 38.5' pole.
Shoe was on the other foot it would be non stop attack ads.
while Trump goes full unhinged and incites more violence? it might be okay to let that rattle around. i only hope the Dems have the guts to point to that and say “see? he incites it”
They simply want Trump to win. Dems prefer being powerless because it allows them to message without the expectation of getting results. We live in a one party state.
To show concern for any other decent sentient being and upstanding citizen is to be expected. But Trump is neither. Fuck him. I wish he had died today. The world would be better for his passing.
